As the train began to pull into the Ponyville station, Soarin' had awoken from his nap, feeling fresh and excited; he'd missed Rainbow after she'd left and he had been really looking forward to visiting. He finished the last gulp of his water before getting his bag as the train pulled to a stop and the passengers began to exit.
The pale-blue stallion glanced around the station before getting a big ol' smile on his face when he saw the rainbow mane. "Dashie, hey!" Soarin', with his bag still on his back, half-trotted-half-galloped over and greeted Rainbow with a peck on the lips, not even noticing the violet unicorn or pale yellow pegasus there that had been talking with her.

................................. Rainbow's wings shot up both at the kiss and at the complete and utter mortification that her friends were pretty much RIGHT FREAKING THERE WATCHING. Her face was pure beat RED by this point as her eyes traveled back to Twilight and Fluttershy to take in their own shocked responses.
It was safe to say by this point, that she wished one of two things would happen; 1: The ground would open wide and swallow her up on the spot... Or 2: Her wings would just VANISH since they were now erect and stiff.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN CARE IF IT MEANT NOT FLYING ANYMORE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT TO MAKE THIS SCENE EVEN SLIGHTLY LESS AWKWARD THEN IT WAS NOW.

Twilight watched none other than Soarin' of the Wonderbolts run out of the train. It all made sense now, she was keeping this a secret because she was meeting with the Wonderbolts and might actually get accepted into their ranks for once. This might have actually been a business meeting this whole time which would make it really understandable that Dash would want to keep them out of the loop until she got the final word on whether or not she was in.
Well, that was what Twilight thought would happen for about three seconds before Soarin' kissed Dash, "Oh," she said as her mouth hit the floor and her eyes got wide, "Ookay, I kind of understand the secrecy now."

From the moment Dash started stammering, Fluttershy had already grown even more suspicious on Rainbow's reasoning behind being here. She couldn't tell if Twilight noticed it too, but it didn't seem that way considering how she replied. Regardless, Fluttershy remained reluctantly silent: she wasn't about to point a hoof at her friend until her 'friend' arrived to greet her.
As a familiar nickname rang out from nearby, Fluttershy was surprised to hear it coming from Soarin'. When did she get so close to the Wonderbolts that one of them would refer to her by her nickname that she didn't even like all that much...?
As soon as the colt gave her a peck on the lips, Fluttershy's hooves moved over her mouth to stifle a gasp. Well that certainly explained a thing or two... But it also raised more questions than it answered. She tried to regain her composure as she lowered her hooves, but she couldn't help but smile at how Dash reacted. Now Shy would have a leg up on her the next time she decided to innocently tease her and Applejack...

Soarin' pulled away from the kiss rather quickly, it having been just a small one... then he glanced over, noticing Twilight and Fluttershy. He recognized them; they'd shown up at the competition all those years ago... and he'd seen them at the wedding as well. Soarin' figured that they were Rainbow's friends... and they'd just seen him kiss her.
As the stallion realized that, his own wings shot up and his cheeks flushed very dark red... to say he was embarrassed was a serious understatement.
"U...Um... h-hi?"

Rainbow at first said nothing, just trying to stomache the fact that her friends had seen them kiss. Dear Celestia this was embarrassing... She also noticed Fluttershy's smile and gave her a look that said 'You're going to give me hoof with this aren't you?'.
Finally, what Twilight said sunk in and she finally turned the Awkward silence. "Heheh....... Uh... Yeah..... Guys you remember Soarin' right?" She wanted to buck herself in the face for that lame opening. "Uh... Yeah.... Of course you do... I guess you're probably wondering how this started...."
She took a breath. "It was during the party celebrating Applejack's go at the Canterlot Rodeo. I stepped out to go and visit the Wonderbolt's office. I found Soarin' there, we got to talking and... Well... One thing just led to another..." She figured she owed them an explanation in any cases.
This at least explained why Rainbow, of all ponies, would actually WANT to stay in Canterlot for another day.

Twilight stared at the scene in front of her for a few moments, more dumbfounded than anything else by what she had just learned about one of her best friends. She may not be a Wonderbolt, but it seems like she had managed to bag one as a coltfriend, "Well," Twilight said as a smile spread across her face, "It's very nice to see you again Soarin even if this is a rather, ummm, interesting situation we've all found ourselves in."
She then stood up from the bench and stretched a bit, "Well, looks like you managed to bag yourself a grade A coltfriend, Rainbow," she said with a wink, "I'm glade you spent your time in Canterlot so efficiently," she said with a giggle.

Twilight's comments merely made the Wonderbolt blush deeper, his cheeks appearing a healthy shade of purple underneath his blue coat. "L-Likewise, Twilight..." Great... just great. He made a complete fool out of himself in front of Rainbow's friends. How embarrassing...

Rainbow blushed quite a bit more at Twilight's commentary about a 'Grade A Coltfriend'. "Y-yeah.... thanks...." She would've wing shrugged buther wings were still a tad stiff. She'd have to wait for them to soften up before she could do that. "To be honest, I wasn't really expecting it to happen, it just kinda did..."
She let out a sigh. "Anyways... Well..." She tried to think a moment. "Again, sorry for keeping this from you guys, Twilight... But I guess you can get what all the secrecy was for now..." Her head slumped down a bit. "I was going to tell you guys sometime though."

Twilight smiled at Rainbow reassuringly, "It's fine, Dash," she said as she walked up to her and gave her a pat on the back, "It's not like I told you guys about Misty right away or anything like that so I really don't want you to feel bad about it. However," she said as she looked over at Soarin, "It seems like I'm intruding on what I'm sure is going to be a wonderful date."
She then turned around and started walking back towards Ponyville, "Have fun you two," she said as she waved back to them, "I'll be in the Library if you need me."

"Heheh... s-seeya..." He waved as the lavender unicorn began walking away, looking at the cyan mare. "U-Um... I'm really sorry about that, Rainbow... I was just really happy to see you again..." He shuffled a hoof on the floor of the station, his ears folding down.

As she continued to quietly observe the two of them while Twilight teased them, she couldn't help but suddeny look back at old memories of her loyal friend. She giggled slightly as she remembered Rainbow's initial reaction when Fluttershy asked her if she would ever have a coltfriend when they were fillies.
Always one to keep up appearances, Rainbow had assured her she would NEVER let herself get mushy feelings for other ponies. Yet here she was, stammering nervously with a colt she was head over hooves for. It was rather amusing to think about...
By the time she was done reliving her nostalgia, she noticed Twilight trot off, leaving her alone on the bench with Soarin' and Dash next to her. Seems she had been a bit too quiet for her own good... She had yet to really get a wotd in, though, so she didn't quite feel like turning tail and running just yet. "So, um, Rainbow..." she said, trying to find some easy form of conversation that didn't involve beraing her suddenly bashful friend. "What do you two plan to do in your time here...? I-If you don't mind me asking..."

"O-Okay! Thanks Twi!" Rainbow let out a little exhale of relief as Twilight walked off. Well, at least that was one more pony out of the way for the time being. When she heard Soarin' speak up she quickly turned to him, looking equally bashful. "Eh, don't worry Soarin', it's okay."
It was around that time Fluttershy came in with her own question. Rainbow had to admit, she had near forgot she was still there, she had been so quiet. "Oh!" Well... Rainbow supposed she owed Fluttershy that much, she had always been such a dear friend. "Well Shy, I figured I'd show Soarin' around town. This is his first time in Ponyville after all." She thought about that a moment. "After that... I dunno. I guess we'll just see where that goes."

Soarin' nodded slightly. "I've heard things about this town but I've never been here, so I'm lookin' forward to seeing more of it..." Honestly, though, Soarin' was kinda nervous that he'd made a bad impression on Rainbow's friends; he was being almost uncharacteristically nervous.

Fluttershy smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. This would normally be her cue to leave, but for some reason she felt held back. "O-oh, that sounds nice..." she tried to think of something else to say, quickly questioning why she was even trying to do so to begin with. Was she hesitant about something...? "W-well, um, maybe you should take him to the Lucky Clover, it's such a nice place to eat."
